thanks.
I though I had to highlight the cards not drag and drop in place

There's no truth to this. The AI feeds its decisions to the game simulation in the same way that a human does and then the same random number generator is used.

You must be correct, but from now on I'm logging Fury rolls for my TO games, offline and online

Just been trying to figure the game out with FK. See you guys online soon when i get the hang of things. LOL.

Mal can be supported just as well by a Priest or Sera and she doesn't need to be kept in that less than 4hp state for her 4 power. My deck currently is Mal, Archangel and Leah. Although I don't like Leah much since she's already nerfed with her 4 health bug. Coleen or Jacob seem like a better choice, or maybe even Magos.

I use Mal, Jacob, and Gibbs.

3 damage range is great late game.
Mal at 4 power always is better than Kalon IMO. Gibbs plus sera is great.

I was wondering about Grubs too, since he's such a great fit to the Vanguards. His end of turn movement also allows use of summoners who have high/mid attack but low health, like Ret-Talus or Vlox. I still want to keep Archangel in the build because his Greater Flight ability can do some real damage to low health summoners.

Finally took the plunge this weekend after practicing with the AI. Played with a lot of the regular ascension folks (sapphire-neo has been owning me as usual) - this is easily my favourite game from Playdek (scaled back on ascension, and stopped altogether on Nightfall)!

Add me on GC and let's play some more!

That last win was just pure luck! I was dead for all money. You should be careful about your opponent's walls, block summoning spots on your side of the board. Also, never junk Legions of the Dead for magic, getting a meat shield around Ret-Talus for 3 magic is far too important.

I'm still learning too, but I seem to have a handle on FK, not so much on any other faction. I'm beginning to understand how the Vanguard economy works. Still not sure on how to efficiently start out with CG though and Cloaks can be a pain with their low hitting power. I'm thinking of adding a heavy Merc champion just to have something that can hit a summoner late in the game.

VG economy: Dump everything you're not using that turn (save maybe a summoning surge) until you can summon your champions. Stick Sera/Priest behind them and win lategame.

Wow... Talk about ridiculous luck. Two times in a row my Force Summoned Skhull attacks Prince Elien and misses on both turns. That's 6 dice coming up with nothing. Ugh.

Fortunately my hand had a Dark Sacrifice and Legions so I still took out Elien in the next 2 turns.
